The CYLINDER command is used to create 3D solid cylinders. Command Access: Ribbon : 3D > Modeling > CylinderMenu : Draw > Modeling > CylinderCommand : CYLINDER Command Prompts: Specify center point of base of [3P/2P/Ttr/Elliptical]:... Read More

The BACTIONTOOL command is used to add actions to a dynamic block definition. Command Access: Command : BACTIONTOOL Command Prompts: Enter action type [Array/Lookup/Filp/Move/Rotate/Scale/sTretch/Polar stretch]: Function Description: When editing... Read More

The BACTIONSET command is used to specify action selection set associated with an action in a dynamic block definition. Command Access: Command : BACTIONSET Command Prompts: Select action object:Specify selection set for action object [New/Modify] ... Read More

The BACTION command is used to add actions to dynamic block definitions. Command Access: Command : BACTION Command Prompts: Select parameter: Enter action type [Array (A)/Move (M)/Scale(S)/sTretch(T)]: Function Description:This command could be only... Read More

Actions define how the geometry of a dynamic block reference will move or change when the custom properties of the block reference are manipulated in a drawing. Move: Move action causes objects to move a specified distance and angle such as a point,... Read More

Parameters have an appearance similar to dimensions. Parameters also specify positions, distances, and angles for geometry in a block reference. When you add a parameter to a dynamic block definition, the parameter defines one or more custom... Read More

If you want to realize symmetric stretch keeping keyway center no change and the length of smaller diameter shaft changes with stretch at the same time, how will realize that?1. Add Stretch for Step Shaft: Add stretch parameter and action for step... Read More

Take the step shaft as an example, if we stretch the left part of the step shaft and the keyway still is at the center point of smaller diameter shaft after stretching. As the following picture shows:   Then, we use the “Distance Multiplier”... Read More

For mechanical design, we often need to stretch the keyway to a certain length. Now, let us see how to realize the accurate stretch.1. Pick Linear Parameter: In block editor, pick the linear parameter, then click the entry frame which is on the right... Read More
